[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 3697038, member: 46559"] "If we walk into their camp, and they are not friendly, we will not be rescued in a day or two, Mogro. We will be [i]eaten[/i]. If we are lucky, they will kill us first. The reason that everyone was so surprised when you stood up to argue for restraint in the naga was that I know of no other time in the history of our people that one of us met with a gnoll and neither of them died. We do not know why Hussik was allowed to live. It might have been because these gnolls, unlike all others of their kind we have ever known are peaceful and friendly. Or it may have been because they prefer their meat to awake and screaming as they devour it. We do not know. Should our mission go poorly, if these gnolls are like the rest of their kind, this krel will need every blade, and to throw away two of our best fighters, the shaman's apprentice, and... whatever [i]he[/i] is..." gesturing to Adokul, "...for the sake of a gesture, is madness!" With an effort, Assaq calms himself. "But listen. I do not propose to kidnap one of their band. There is a way to contact them peacefully without undue risk. If we find one of their hunters or sentries, one of us can approach him, alone and unarmed but within call of the others, and request a meeting with one of their leaders somewhere away from either of our homes, someplace it would be impossible to approach with a large band, such as the top of a bare hill.
